The BBC regrets

the article entitled 'Animal welfare: Germany moves to ban bestiality' inadvertently included a crude version of Michelangelo's 1533 masterpiece 'Leda and the Swan' in which Chancellor Merkel's head was photoshopped onto Leda.  The BBC apologizes to Dr. Merkel, the Bundestag, and the German people for any embarrassment this caused.
